What Our Customers Say...
Description
Scarce
Several of these works are edited, with notes and an introduction, by John Payne Collier. The Shakespeare Society was founded, in part, by John Payne Collier, who served as its director. From 1840, the society was responsible for the publication of numerous volumes containing works of drama and theatrical history, with particular interest in Shakespeare and his contemporaries of Renaissance drama. John Payne Collier, 1789 – 1883, is most famously remembered as a Shakespearean critic and alleged forger.
